she lost herself when the meds kicked in

staring at a chair where her folks had been

all she wanted to tell them was "i'm alright"

it's late, and a stillness hangs on her hall

broken by the sound of the faint footfalls

as the last orderly moves slowly into the night



and a song that she used to know, from a pocket radio

and it floats from the floor above, song she used to love

reminds her of the time when she had anyplace to go



is this time is it all i've got (she thinks)

is this life is it all i've got

that you could walk away and leave me with something i can't fight yeah

this thing has got ahold of me and all my saturday, all my saturday nights



she thinks to herself, i'll hide them underneath my tongue

in the moment she's aware of what she won't become

when she feels herself slipping, she whispers "i'm alright"

the ceiling reflects headlights coming over the hill

she's lying on her back and she's perfectly still

she knew they'd come back for her, but they fade out of sight



and a song that she used to know, from a pocket radio

and it floats from the floor above, song she used to love

reminds her of the times when she, had anyplace to go



is this time is it all i've got (she thinks)

is this life is it all i've got

that you would walk away and leave me with something i can't fight yeah

this thing has got ahold of me and all my saturday, all my saturday nights



if you're out there listening, you know what i'm missing

they took time, oh, it was mine

i want my life back, i want my life back



is this time is it all i've got (she thinks)

is this life is it all i've got

that you would walk away and leave me with something i can't fight yeah

this thing has got ahold of me and all my saturday, all my saturday nights



is this time is it, is this life is it, is this time is it all i've, all i've got, all i've got

i could stumble across this hall, i could find my way, find my way back home
